Your East Midlands Wedding - August/September 2022 (Issue 51)

We were looking at Cripps & Co properties when the team mentioned their new venue being developed called Grangefields. It was an old barn that hadn’t been finished yet, but we knew it was our style even from the renders – it turned out better than we imagined! We had a mixture of flower arrangements for centrepieces. We picked lots of foliage and white blooms for our flowers, including roses and orchids in the bridal bouquet. We wanted to make a difference to a charity close to our hearts, and decided to donate to Macmillan Cancer Support. We provided some lovely bee and kingfisher pins as favours. Our three-tiered cake had lemon and chocolate flavours and was decorated with flowers from our florist. The food was genuinely delicious; everyone commented on how good it was. The bridesmaids wore floor-length dresses with lace backs. 34
